Foundations: TRON, TRC20 and wallet connection

1) What is the TRON network?

TRON is a high-throughput, low-fee blockchain where decentralized applications (dApps) can issue and move tokens. Transactions often cost less compared to other networks, but you should still check resource usage such as energy/bandwidth.

2) The TRC20 token standard

TRC20 defines how fungible tokens operate on TRON, enabling compatibility across wallets and dApps. Before interacting, inspect the token contract, review allowances you grant and verify the project’s reputation and history.

3) How wallet connection works

Connecting lets a website read your public address and request signatures you explicitly approve. Always check the domain (URL and certificate), confirm the actions being requested and reject anything unrelated or unclear.

  • Open only trusted domains you verified yourself.
  • Never type your seed phrase on websites or forms.
  • Enable password/biometrics and keep devices updated.
  • Prefer hardware wallets for larger balances.

Security: 8 essential practices

  1. Verify domain and certificate before connecting.
  2. Install only from official stores/websites.
  3. Never share seed phrases or private keys.
  4. Use 2FA/biometrics and prefer hardware wallets.
  5. Regularly review and revoke token allowances.
  6. Be skeptical of airdrops requiring signatures.
  7. Store seed phrases offline; avoid photos/prints.
  8. Test new dApps with small amounts first.

Wallet types and care

TypeProsConsiderations
Browser extension Fast for desktop dApps, easy signing. Install from official source; beware of phishing.
Mobile app Biometrics and portability. Protect the device; avoid public Wi-Fi for signing.
Hardware wallet Keys isolated, ideal for larger holdings. Buy from official channels; store seed offline.

Tip: combine extension/app for daily use with a hardware wallet for high-value actions.

Safe connection flow

  1. Open the dApp only after confirming its domain and reputation.
  2. Initiate connection from your extension/app (not random pop-ups).
  3. Read permissions (read-only, signature, token spend?).
  4. Reject requests that do not match your current action.
  5. After finishing, review and reduce broad permissions.
